Embedded cell proteins play a fundamental roll in the transport of chemicals across the cellular membrane.
For many years, genetic information was thought to be contained in cell protein.
The worse problem though is that when muscle cells die, they release cell proteins into the blood.
Q. Recently, your laboratory here at Rockefeller University announced the discovery of a new cell protein, p11.
They also play a major role in protecting cellular membranes, stabilising cell proteins and supporting the body's immune system.
They believe this finding may help understand how the fat cell protein works.
Despite the myriad of these ultimate responses, they are all directly due to changes in particular cell proteins.
In simpler bacteria, the first enzyme, arginine deiminase, can account for up to 10% of total cell protein.
In plants, chloroplasts also make some cell proteins.
The Lithgow lab has discovered that certain cell proteins capable of extending life can also be closely involved in disease prevention.
